​It is with great excitement and pride that we share with you the news that OUR film "That Way Madness Lies…" has been accepted to the Maryland International Film Festival, Hagerstown. This is a fantastic first step toward getting the film in front of audiences, and sharing its message about mental health in America.

When we say OUR film, it is just that. OUR FILM. You, whether you were part of the original Kickstarter campaign back in 2012 – or whether you started supporting the film more recently – YOU are the reason this film exists and we are deeply grateful. Read a little bit about what one of our Executive Producers has to say about our film:

“I want nothing but great things for this film, not only as an advocacy tool (and it should be shown on Capitol Hill and the State Houses across the country and anywhere people care about gun control) but also as a source of support for people going through the extraordinary difficult problem of having an adult relative who is mentally ill.” - Executive Producer, Abigail Disney

Now, the real push begins. A mad dash to the finish that anyone who has run a long distance race (and make no mistake, this has been a marathon of epic proportions) knows well. Post production and legal clearances are our next challenges. And they are not, by any means, forgone conclusions. There is some concern that our funds will not cover everything.

However, for now, the news is good, and as a special treat we want to share with you three brand new previews of the film. These short glimpses at the film were made as part of an application for an NEA grant. Take a look, and let us know what you think at ojedafilms@aol.com, and don't forget to join us on Facebook.
